Happy Thanksgiving to You and Your Family!

Posted on November 16, 2012 | Leave a comment

 We are taking a blogging break for the coming days so that we can celebrate Thanksgiving and spend time with our family.

Please join us in this season of gratitude and
thankfulness, as we take time to reflect on  the
many blessings that God has brought into our lives.

May it be a blessed one for you. And, may your
home be filled with family, friends, and the joy
and abundant goodness of the Lord.

God Bless Your Thanksgiving!
~ From Your Friends at Frugal in Fort Worth ~

::

It is good to give thanks to the Lord.
Psalm 92:1

 

P.S.  Be sure to click on the picture above to link to a wonderful video  that fits perfectly into this Thanksgiving season and time of gratitude.  The video is  from Ann Voskamp, fellow blogger and author of the book, One Thousand Gifts.  Music is by David Nevue.    Enjoy!

Not familiar with Pear Tree Greetings? Check out their collection of customizable products at their website here.  I am a big fan of their clever designs which range from snappy and fun to traditional with a twist of modern flair.  We recently ordered personalized stationery from them and were very happy with the high quality of the final results ~ we highly recommend!

COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING: FREE Dinner Table Placesetting Printable For Kids

Posted on October 31, 2012 | 2 comments

Bookmark and Share 

Just in time for the entertaining season ahead, here’s a fun & FREE printable tool from Martha Stewart to teach your children how to correctly set the table.  If you are like me, daily dinners at home rarely include a table formally set with all the various forks, glasses, etc.  With the entertaining season almost here, now is the perfect time to teach your kids table setting skills, so that they can take part in the preparations for all the upcoming festivities.

:: Go here to download and print this FREE colorful learning tool. Print the file on heavy paper or cardstock and cut out the pieces. You may even want to laminate before cutting to make the pieces extra sturdy for little hands.

:: Go here to print out the diagram below to get them started.

P.S.  If you need a refresher on which fork goes where for your next soirée or BBQ buffet, Replacements, Etc. has a handy & free guide for correctly setting the table for just about any type of meal.  Just follow the link here and you’ll be “Emily Post Etiquette” approved!

Enjoy and Share! :)

SAVE THE DATE: November 15-17 ~ Sharon Young & Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Clothing Sale

Posted on October 29, 2012 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share 

Woo-hoo! It’s almost time for our favorite clothing warehouse sale…

 

Need to update or add a few new pieces to your wardrobe? 
Be sure to mark the next Sharon Young and Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse sale (November 15-17) on your calendar. The sale will feature 1000s of items from their fall clothing collection at big discounts ~ definitely worth the drive to Dallas!

If you have followed the blog for a while, you likely already know what big fans we are of this sale.  Personally, I have saved a bundle off retail prices (50 to 75% OFF) and brought home some gorgeous outfits at below wholesale ~ much of my wardrobe has come from this sale’s clothes racks. Prices start at $20 and the most expensive items (dresses and jackets) are $60!

   

We will be popping over to Dallas to capture some sneak preview pictures of the goodies this week, so stay tuned for a future post and more info in the coming days. Until then, you can take a peek at the company websites to get a glimpse of some of the clothing brands you will find:

Details, details
When: November 15-17, 2012 ~ Thursday & Friday, 8:00AM to 8:00PM and Saturday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Where: 10367 Brockwood Rd ~ Dallas.  You’ll see signs directing you where to go (or just follow all the ladies you will see!)
Do note: There is a large dressing room provided for trying on all your finds, but typical of women’s fashion warehouse sales, it is ladies only and not private. Since this is a women only event, husbands, guy-friends and kiddos under 12, please stay comfortable at home. 

Enjoy and Share! :)

Right now, Amazon has a fantastic deal on several Betty Crocker e-Cookbooks for 99 cents! We enjoyed perusing the cookbooks and found simple, easy to follow recipes that look worthy of sharing with friends and family.  I am looking forward to having some new Slow Cooker recipes to try this fall and the Almond Tres Leches Muffins from the Fall Baking cookbook sound, in a word ~  YUM!

Our favorite 99 Cent Betty Crocker Cookbook finds include:

Also, even if you do not have a Kindle, you can still download any of these books and read them on your PC, iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, tablet or other smart phone devices (learn more below).

FREE Pumpkin Carving Stencils & Jack-O-Lantern Patterns (Over 100 FREE Downloads & Ideas)

Posted on October 15, 2012 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share   

Pumpkin Carving

Don’t you love this weather?  It’s a welcome reminder that the beginning of the fall season is here (I don’t know about you, but I am soooo ready!!).  It is the perfect time to make a fun family memory by carving a jack-o-lantern to decorate your home. 

Pick up a couple of inexpensive pumpkins and try you hand at a fun design with one of  these FREE pumpkin stencils!  

  • The Texas Rangers fan club  has 4 FREE Texas Rangers and Texas themed FREE printable jack-o-lantern templates here.  Show your support for our favorite baseball team!
  • Kraft.com has 6 different pumpkin face patterns as well as an easy-to-follow guide for carving pumpkins, here.
  • Hesheys.com offers a wide variety of 30 different patterns from easy to advanced, with printable carving instructions.
  • Better Homes and Gardens provides 6 silly face patterns, here.  And even more creative ideas for decorating pumpkins here.
  • DisneyFamily.com has over 20 Disney character patterns that include Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog, Tigger, Phineas and Ferb, and Goofy.
  • Nick Jr. offers favorite Nick Jr. TV show character patterns like Dora the Explorer and many others.
  • PumpkinLady.com provides a wide selection of clever design templates, most for less than $2. Click around the site for some great ideas.  You’ll also find 12 designs for FREE  here.  Follow the pumpkin lady’s Facebook or Twitter pages for other free designs and discounts, too.

I recommend a couple of great tools for making your pumpkin carving project easier:

Pumpkin Carving        Pumpkin Carving

  • For the more serious pumpkin carving project, I recommend the Messermeister Pumpkin Carving Kit which includes a chef quality Pumpkin/Melon knife, scoop and carving tools in a storage case.  The special blades are designed to carve intricate designs beautifully (not for the kiddos, though)!   They’ll give a great grip when cutting and carving pumpkins and thick melons, too.
  • If you want one really good tool, I recommend getting a special Pumpkin/Melon Carving knife. We really like the Warren Pro Pumpkin Carving knife. It is well made with a walnut handle and comes with several sturdy replacement blades that have a fine saw like cutting action ~ they will not bend or break as with the cheaper versions.  Again, this is not safe for kids.

Enjoy and Share! :)
